Notes

Use frozen berries to keep the smoothie cold without adding ice, preserving flavor and texture.
Adjust the amount of nut butter if you prefer a creamier or lighter smoothie.
For extra sweetness, you can add a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, though this smoothie is designed to be less fruity and naturally sweet.
Collagen peptides add protein and support skin and joint health without altering the flavor significantly.
This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking.
